Being a Dad to My Niece

Chapter 26. Arga Recognition

Chapter 26

Now Arga is in a difficult situation. It's also wrong that he gave Valerie a promise and an oath. Now the man regretted his actions.

Bagas' gaze felt pressing and made Arga short of breath. This father-in-law was not someone who could be consulted, but the type of person who was stubborn and would impose his will.

"Which parent wants to see their child suffer? I think all parents want their child's home life to be happy" Bagas said with a sharp eye.

Arga was speechless. He recalled what he had done to Marsha. The man felt that he could not make the woman feel happiness in living their household life.

"Heh, you! You are a woman, do you not have the heart and feelings, already want to damage the household of others? Did you never think of putting yourself in the position of a woman whose husband is seduced by another woman? Do you want one day when you have a husband and then there is another woman who wants to be your husband's wife, will you allow it with pleasure?" Bagas pointed to Valerie's silent face.

The woman did not want to be second either. So he really hopes that Arga can divorce Marsha.

"I never took Arga from his wife. It was precisely the woman who had taken Arga from me. We've been dating for a long time, if I hadn't been in a long coma, I might have been married to Arga for a long time" Valerie argued in her defense.

Hearing the words from the woman standing in front of him, Bagas was very surprised. He never heard that Arga already had a lover and was in a coma.

"Dad, I–"

"Why didn't you tell me you already have a woman you love so much? It's worth it now that you even want to wish Marsha. Bring back Marsha to us, after all, you also seem unable to please my daughter," Bagas cut off not wanting to hear the son-in-law's words.

All this time Arga image is very good in the village. It does not sound like being close to women, because the focus first with his career. Not even her parents knew about Valerie.

"No, Dad. I will always make Marsha happy" Arga said earnestly hoping that her in-laws would no longer urge her.

Crazy and selfish who is now controlling Arga. His awareness of comfort with Marsha made him like this. This man is selfish and greedy in his life. Not knowing why he became like this now, he didn't like it either.

"Give Marsha back to me, if I need to return the 250 million dowry to you!" snapped Bagas with wrath.

The middle-aged man did seem authoritarian and overpossessive to his family. Even so the princess has experienced painful things in her life with the events of the past.

Valerie widened her eyes when she heard the dowry that Arga gave to Marsha. He knew very well that the man was the type to save and did not like poya-foya. However, upon hearing how much the value of the dowry was given, this made the greedy soul on his body rise.

Arga shook his head. His heart said it must not release Marsha no matter what. He will keep her as his wife.

Valerie is upset that Arga is unwilling to release Marsha. He will also be able to bring happiness to her.

"It's not good if someone asks for a divorce from his wife. It's a sin, Dad. Divorce is something that God hates" Arga said.

Arga was silent. He doesn't know what else to do to keep his father-in-law from getting angry and letting him and Marsha stay together.

"I love Marsha and don't want to lose her" I'm honest with Arga.

In the corner of his heart he felt unworthy for Marsha. He wants to show his love to the woman, if he is worthy of a good woman like Marsha. He was ashamed of his sinful self in his past. The presence of Marsha next to her was the light of her gloomy life.

Valerie's body was squeezed and nearly fell if not held back by her treatment. Even crutches, which became a tool for him to walk until he fell.

Bagas saw the honesty of Arga's eyes. However, he did not like this manner of acting and attitude of his son-in-law.

"Pak Bagas .. Arga, are you here?" I just got back from the canteen. Now it's her turn to wait in the hospital. Meanwhile, Indah babysits Alva in the apartment.

The two men of different generations were glancing towards Ayu. They nodded and walked together to Marsha's ward.

Valerie stared at Arga's departure. He was angry with the man. All this time he always thought that she was the only woman in Arga's heart. However, now he was ignored by her.

'It's all because of that woman! If only that person had never been present between us, Arga and I would have lived happily, Valerie's inner gaze with a gaze still fixed on Arga.

Arga came into office today, as there will be a meeting with the board of directors. She and Mariana met in the hallway as they headed for the meeting room.

"Why don't you ever come home now? Valerie's sister often daydreams and sometimes suddenly runs amok" asked Mariana.

Arga was already bored with the same question and had to answer the same thing too. After Marsha fell into a coma two months ago, she never went to Valerie's house again. He spent a lot of time in the hospital and in the apartment.

"I'm afraid that he'll make a desperate move. Yesterday he stood on the balcony and made the neighbors in an uproar" continued Mariana and it took Arga by surprise.

"You're not lying, are you?" ask Arga not to believe.

Will Valerie do the desperate thing to be with Arga? What is the future of Arga and Marsha? Follow their story, yes!
